Problem Adding 2nd DC to domain

W2003 Enterprise Domain Controller
using Simple DNS plus

Attempting to add 2nd W2003 DC to domain
using DCPROMO get to enter user password to add server to domain get
following error

An Active Directory Domain controller for the domain xyz.xxx could not be
contacted.

In the help window is the following
DNS was successfully queried. for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate a domain controller for domain xyz.xxx

All the A records SOA and SRV records are correct on the DC.
nslookup shows correct dns resolution of DC to ip address
set q=a resolves correct FQDN
both servers can ping the FQDN of each other

I cannot install Active Directory on the 2nd DC or join the domain

Any help is appreciated.
